Uganda moves forward with plans to regulate social workers through new laws. The National Association of Social Workers of Uganda works with the Gender Ministry to create strict rules for the profession. Dr. Peter Nareeba leads the effort as General Secretary of the association. He spoke at Makerere University during a major conference about social work. The new bill will establish a Social Work Council to oversee all professionals.
Only trained and qualified people can work as social workers under the proposed law. The council will make sure vulnerable people receive help from skilled professionals. Workers must follow ethical guidelines and proper conduct standards. The bill strengthens the national association and creates better oversight. Communities will benefit from improved services and better protection.
The conference focused on building stronger communities for sustainable development. Timothy Opobo from AfriChild Center emphasized helping children and marginalized groups. He stressed that resilience requires teamwork across different sectors. Government agencies must work with schools and community groups. Investment in proper systems and services creates lasting change.
Uganda faces many challenges from economic problems to climate disasters. The country commits to international goals like reducing poverty and promoting equality. Government officials recognize that progress depends on smart investments and strong policies. The constitution already provides legal support for social care programs. These efforts aim to protect vulnerable populations and create fair opportunities for everyone.
